A paramedic in the ambulance was also injured. The driver was not hurt.

A surveillance camera at a nearby pizza shop captured the accident. It shows a Mercedes Benz running a stop sign at Green Street and Cape Road. The car clips the ambulance sending it into a skid and causing it to roll over. Police have identified the driver of that car as 61-year-old Lisa Zemack of Framingham. Zemack could face charges ranging from failure to stop to motor vehicle homicide.
